"I can't say enough about Mandarava Resort! This place is an absolute slice of paradise, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional staff. They are the epitome of friendliness and hospitality, consistently going above and beyond to make your stay perfect. A member of our travel party broke their leg during our trip, and the resort team was nothing short of incredible. They went out of their way to accommodate her, making sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed. This level of care and genuine concern is rare and truly unforgettable. Mandarava Resort isn't just a beautiful place to stay; it's a place where you feel genuinely cared for. We will be back!"

"The staff are super and go out of their way to help. They are incredibly diligent, easy to deal with, and always friendly and happy. The room was very clean and cleaned regularly throughout the day. It was also very quiet. The beach is straight across the road, and it’s an easy walk to both the Karon and Kata Beach shops and restaurants. A very enjoyable stay. "
